Shmuel Goldenberg opened from under the gun to 2,500. Jakub Oliva called in the hijack and David Ozeman called in the cutoff. Guillermo Cifuentes defended the big blind.

He checked the 2♦8♥7♠ flop to Goldenberg who bet 2,500. Oliva called before Ozeman raised to 12,500. Cifuentes folded as did, Goldenberg and Oliva. Ozeman showed the K♠.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Five-way on a flop of 7♠5♥J♦, Mourad Tounnouti in middle position bet 10,700. The button and the blinds folded, but Malcolm Franchi raised all-in for 27,600 from under the gun. "Kings?" Tounnouti asked, before making the call.

Malcolm Franchi: K♠J♠ All in
Mourad Tounnouti: J♣10♣

Both players flopped top pair but Franchi had a better kicker. The 9♦2♦ runout didn't change the outcome of the hand and Franchi doubled up, a few minutes after he reentered the tournament.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Lukas Rose was all-in for 18,500 from early position and was put at risk by Grudi Grudev a few seats down.

Lukas Rose: 2♣2♥ All in
Grudi Grudev: Q♣Q♦

Rose was well behind with his underpair, and didn't get much hope on the K♣9♥6♠ flop. However, the 2♦ turn propelled Rose into the lead as he made a set, which left Grudev one chance to eliminate his opponent. The 4♥ river wasn't the queen he was looking for, and Rose doubled up.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Mauro Gees opened to 2,400 and received a call, before Gergely Rona three-bet jammed for 19,800 from the button. Gees rejammed for around 30,000, and the caller got out of the way.

Gergely Rona: K♠K♦ All in
Mauro Gees: A♠Q♥

Rona had the goods, and although Gees flopped top pair on the Q♠10♦2♥8♦6♠ runout, it wasn't enough for the pot.

Kai Cocklin

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With around 5,000 chips in the pot on a board of 4♠4♦7♣Q♣, Salvatore Boi checked and Muhibur Rahman bet 3,500. Christian Baumdicker called, then Boi made it 25,000. Rahman then shoved his stack of almost 200,000 into the middle, which got Baumdicker to fold after a while. Boi, however, did the opposite and immediately called off his stack of almost 58,000.

Salvatore Boi: 10♥4♥ All in
Muhibur Rahman: 4♣2♠

Both players had turned trips but it was the kicker of Boi that was playing with one card to come. There were some chop opportunities for Rahman to find, but the 10♠ river wasn't one of them as Boi made a full house and doubled up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Muhibur Rahman	140,000
